GMATS Courses Now Eligible for VA Benefits
Now Veterans of the United States Armed Forces may be eligible for Education Benefits. Eligibility for most VA benefits is based upon discharge from active military service under other than dishonorable conditions.
Below is a brief explanation of VA education benefits. GMATS does not answer any questions regarding benefits. Students must contact their local VA office for information and to apply.
Education and Training
Montgomery GI Bill - Persons who first entered active duty after June 30, 1985, and contributed to an education fund are generally eligible. Some Vietnam Era veterans and certain veterans separated under special programs are also eligible. The bill also includes a program for certain reservists and National Guard members.
Post-9/11 GI Bill - Available to those who served on or after September 11, 2001. It pays tuition and fees up to the most expensive, public, in-state undergraduate program rate, provides a monthly housing
allowance, and a stipend for books and supplies. It also provides an option for service members to transfer benefits to a spouse or child.
Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP/Chapter 1607) -
